Dear Sir / Madam,

The notice period as stipulated in your original first letter of appointment of 1 month will prevail till the time you are in service of the Company. The Company cannot later increase the notice period to 2 months. It is better you refuse to sign any letter specifically accepting the increase in notice period. Better still, you should specifically put it in writing to the Company that your originally agreed notice period of 1 month will prevail.

Regards,
